How old were you when you became a parent?
I like to joke that there's a huge difference in the way my husband parented his first born versus the way we parent our youngest. Except it's not really a joke; he's an equally good but more relaxed and confident parent now, in his 40s, than he was then, in his 20s.
As a brand new parent in the early 1990s, he was a vegetarian who fed his toddler "not dogs" and soy butter and I think I remember him saying she didn't get to eat anything with refined sugar. She listened to "The Playground" on WERS-FM but rarely watched anything on TV.
Fast forward to the arrival of his fifth child in 2006.
Our now-3-year-old was licking steak from his daddy's fork at 6 months. We smear real butter on his (whole wheat) toast, and top it off with homemade jam or cinnamon and (refined) sugar. While he does listen to "The Playground," he also spends time in front of the tube with his older siblings. Watching "SpongeBob Squarepants." And "Blues Clues." And "Team Umizoomi." But, yes, "Spongebob Squarepants."
Over at Babble.com, Ariel Gore writes about becoming a mother, first at 18, and then again at 38. "When I was a teen mom with an infant, people often mistook me for my daughters nanny," she writes. But by the time her second baby came along, 20 years later, people assumed she was his grandmother, she says.
"Most people I meet assume that parenting when were older is intrinsically better or easier," Gore continues. 'Congratulations on the improved circumstances,' more than few people told me when I got pregnant with #2. But of course there is no better or easier."
Statistically speaking, first-time moms are getting older. In 1970s, the average age of a first-time mom was 21.4; by 2006, it was 25, according to an August 2009 report by the National Center for Health Statistics. In 1970, 1 out of 100 babies were born to first-time moms who were older than 35; by 2006, that had changed to 1 in 12. (Moms who become first-time parents post-menopause are a tiny fraction of the minority.) In 1970, 36 percent of births were to mothers younger than 20; in 2006, that figure had dropped to 21 percent.
I had my first baby when I was 32. Friends called me a semi-new mom, since I'd already been step parenting for five years by then; my first baby was also my fourth child. People didn't assume I was my stepkids' nanny but, oddly enough, once I began toting a baby along with our big kids people would gawk at the age gap and, ocassionally, ask if they all had the same father. ("Yes," I told someone once. "But they have different mothers." What makes people think it's OK to ask something like that, anyway?)
How old were you when you became a parent for the first time? Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently? Older parents, do you ever wish you had started earlier?

If you count my son (given up for adoption at birth), I was 19. Since he is still part of my life but I had nothing, ultimately, to do with his rearing, I don't know if that should count. I only knew that, even though I'd been living on my own and supporting myself (barely) for 4 years by then, I could not parent a child in my circumstance. It was a hard decision to make but the best decision I've ever made as a mother, especially when I see where he is now and how he's thrived.
I was 33 when my daughter was born. She just turned 2. Is it easier? Well, I have a life established. I have a career. I have a solid marriage to a wonderful husband and father. I'm a lot more relaxed and have definitely gotten (most of) my ya-ya's out. But I do, occasionally, feel my age, plus 10 - especially when trying to keep up with a very active toddler who, in spite of having an nth of the leg length still manages to run faster than I do!
And FWIW, It's never OK to pry into someone's family circumstance like that. Really. Family is family, and it's none of anyone's business how it came to be that way unless you choose to confide that to them in friendship.
I absolutely think your son counts, Phe! That's when you became a parent, and it's interesting to read your perspective on becoming a mom at 19 vs. becoming a mom at 33. Thank you for sharing this! -- LMA
I was 22 when I had my first, 28 when I became my step-daughter's mom and had my second baby and 30 when I had my last. Because I was single the first time around, and my son was so different in temperament than the others, I don't know what, if anything, I would have done differently by virtue of being older. I had a lot of convictions back then that carried through to the rest of the kids (breastfeeding, cloth diapering) but researched things and was open to anything (and still am). I didn't plan on co-sleeping, but I didn't plan on a colicky baby either and co-sleeping ended up being a good fit for us. I certainly had more energy at 22 than at 30, but at 30 I had more help so it balanced out.
I would say that the one thing that I regret about being so young and single is the financial consequence to my oldest child. I am easily 10 -15 years younger than most of his friends' parents and that gap makes a huge difference in life stages - for example, they bought their first homes when I was in high school. Sure, I'll catch up to where they are now financially when I'm 45 (and they're 60) but by then, my son will be out of college so it won't benefit him that I can finally afford a home with non-hand-me-down furniture and more than one bathroom. In the meantime, it's painful that he's old enough to recognize the relative shabbiness of our current home (and cars, and clothes) and be somewhat embarrassed by it. He and his friends don't realize that their parents were once in starter homes and driving used cars into the ground too, they just weren't born yet or are too young to remember. On the upside, I won't be financing college and retirement at the same time.
I am 36 and I have a 16 year old and an 11 year old. On the negative side being a young parent is difficult financially and emotionally. On the positive side I think it's easier physically and also to relate to your children especially when your children become teenagers. Despite the difficulty, I think I've done a good job and have great kids. But I did have a lot of support which is very important. I think when you are an older parent you can be more independent and not need support (and the criticism that sometimes comes with the support).
I had my first at 20, my second at 23 and my last at 26. Same father(not that this matters) but we both made the decision we wanted our kids "young and done". This way we would be able to enjoy them while we were still young and enjoy our grandchildren and great grandchildren. Also we would have them potentially out of the house in our 40's.
I am 29 now and am the youngest mother in two eldest class. I certainly know what Jen is talking about with the gap in ages. We just bought our first house this year. We are constantly struggling with not having any savings since we had to immediately pay for daycare. We do envy what we call "DINKS" Double Income, No Kids. But this is the decision we have made, and wouldn't do it any other way.I was32 when I got married and was an insta-parent of 2 step kids, 33 when I had my daughter and 35 when I had my son. So now I'm a mom of 18, 16, 7, and 5 yr olds....We get funny looks and questions like Phe mentioned. I refer to my step kids as my children - so the age differences make people do a double take. I wasn't prepared to be a parent in my 20's and I knew it. I wanted to grow up first and luckily I was able to make that happen. I'm more patient now than I could have ever been in my 20's, but I'm also further into my career and feel caught having to cloose alot between my kids and my career. I think parenting is tough no matter what age you are...it's just in defferent ways!
38 with one beloved one and only.
I kinda liked my adult life the way it was going - until I fell in love with the man who would become my husband, and we decided together we wanted to share our love with a child. She is now 12.
"Been there, done that" as they say. I got a lot of my running around, never at home stuff out of my system, and was ready (and wanting) to nest. I also had an established career, which I would eventually drop to become a SAHM (when she entered kindergarten - I did the work/SAHM a** backward). I traveled a ton abroad to Europe and elsewhere (helps to have English cousins and French chums). I went to the Faroe Islands. These recent years, it's basically been Canada and the South, all we can afford for now, and usually road-trips.
It surprised me that my creative life would really, really flourished after I was at home. It's taken a new direction, but it's stronger than ever. I credit my daughter with being my muse.
And, yes, sometimes I **do** want to impulsively get out of the house, and wish she were just a wee bit older so I could do this. But I wouldn't trade the life I have now for all the world. I have no desire to be a DINK, just a little more "me time" is all. It will happen in a few years (and then I'm sure to regret it, and have a bad case of empty-nestism).
I was 18 when I had my six year old. I wouldnt do it any other way. While we struggled for a few years financially, we are secure now (as much as anyone can be in this economy).
My child has perfectly adapted to all of the transitions in life, weve always had an age appropriate level of openness, and Ive been there through every step of the way.
I find that people very much look down on young parents OR young parents feel guilty, especially in Boston and surrounding areas, and feel that we are viewed as irresponsible. The ironic thing about this, I find, is that the same people who would usually look down on young parents, are the same people who are texting on their blackberries or are too busy to pay attention while their kids are going down the slides at the play ground. I am the parent who is running around with my child and having fun with them. When my child grows up, they will look back fondly at these times, and remember how great they were, and not remember that we had Ikea furniture because Mommy wasnt as established as other people thought she should have been.
I was 39 when I had my one and only (he's 10 now). I was married at 31 and had a miscarriage at 18 weeks when I was 37. Having my son so 'late' was not a choice, but the result of many years of trying, many years of medical intervention and a lot of physical and emotional stress. He is worth every bit of it.
Married at 40, instant step parent to a 12 year old, first baby @ 41, second baby @ 43.
Frankly, I'm psyched we were able to have kids...especially @ 40+.We're more established, and are able to take the time off for the kids that would be harder to do when just starting out in our careers.
Having said that, yeah, I wish we were younger..not because of the physical energy required, but more because I worry about when they're in high school and college, and we'll definitely be older than most of their friends parents.We do want to be there for them when they're older. I lost one parent when I was a kid, and it was lousy. My parents were also older (mom was 32 when she started having kids in the '60s..her last child was at 40, in 1972!), but my husband had very young parents (they were in early 20s when they had their family)...so we've seen it from both sides.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both....but that's life. I've got a friend the same age as me with a high schooler and kid in college, and she makes fun of me because I am just starting out as a parent. But, you know what??
It is funny...and good..because I've got friends with lots of experience..so when I call them and ask what happened when their kid decided to give up milk during toddlerhood, or would fight with another kid at daycare, I get some great advice and perspective, because others have been there!
I had my first at 35; second at 37 and third at 39. I never planned to be a SAHM, but it just worked out that way after #3. I didn't want that crazy life anymore day care, traffic, work, traffic, day care, dry cleaners, grocery, dinner, calling in sick with sick kids, and so on-ugh it just didnt seem worth it for the extra income. We had to make some major adjustments, but it has been so worth for us. It is still crazy, but in a different, better way.
I don't really feel like an older parent (kids are 8, 6, 4), as many of my friends are also in their 40's with young children. I do have a couple of friends from HS and college with teenagers. They get a kick out of my watching my kids, and I am blown away watching theirs. My two main concerns are: being really old or worse by the time they have children, and being able to get back into the working world when the time comes, and it will come!
Had my oldest at 19, youngest at 26. Two in between. I am glad I was young and full of energy when I had my kids, and still energetic when the grandkids started coming. I think most people have kids when it is right for them, and if it wasn't planned, it becomes right.
I was 20 when I had my first and 22 when I had my second (and last we hope!). I'm glad I had them young and can relate to what Bettie said. When my son went to his first preschool birthday party last year, I walked in to McDonalds and the mother of the child says rather loudly "Wow, you look so young!"...well yes that is because I'm am young, thanks for pointing that out!
But you know what, I get complements on how well behaved and polite my kids are all the time. My oldest has been in preschool for two years now and every Parent/Teacher conference, the teachers rave about what a good friend he is. It really makes my husband and I proud.
Being young doesn't mean you are a bad parent and it does sting when I hear people make jabs about young parents. Yes, we struggle along financially, my husband stays at home with the kids, but that is how we want to raise our family. We are all happy and healthy! Yes, my sons may be a little older than most kids when we have our own house, but I don't think that will matter to them.
We had lots of help starting out, I was still finishing my last year of college. We appreciate and are thankful for all the help that we got. I hope to provide the same for my kids no matter what age they decided to have kids as well.I am about to turn 46 and have an 11 year old. Focused on college, career and then the biological clock for me. I would not do it any differently. Sometimes I wish I had the same energy as when I was 26 - but I was not emotionally ready to be a parent back in those years. I am blessed now and able to give my daughter the focus, values and lessons in life that only an experienced 'gal can give her daughter ... AK
I appreciate this--I'm having my first, a girl, at 29, in another month or so. My due date is in early July and I'll turn 30 in October with my husband following me in December. I think its funny the difference between having babies in the US and having them in Boston. My husband and I (both same age) live in a condo in Chestnut Hill Brookline (we were super lucky with the real estate downturn) and we feel like the teenage parents of the neighborhood! Always the comment is that we're "so young!" FWIW, we've been married 5 years in September and together 10 years total...we were more than ready for this big step!
Married at 39, first baby at 5 days shy of 41, twins at 42 (about 18 months between kids' ages).
I didn't put off marriage because of a career...I just hadn't found the right person. When I did, we didn't rush into trying to have children. My gynecologist suggested we start trying when she found out we got engaged! I'm glad we waited a little. We needed time to get adjusted to each other, let alone to a child.
Would I have done things differently if I could have? Yes, I would've preferred having children maybe 5 years earlier, but that's just not how it happened. We were very fortunate to have gotten pregnant without intervention. We were fortunate just to have found each other! But it does bother me sometimes that I am probably the oldest Mom in my kids' classes. More because I feel a bit ostracized by the younger moms. My kids don't care, why should I get bent out of shape about it?
As for being more confident with children...I think you become more confident with the number of kids you have. First one scared me to death. I knew nothing. By the time the twins came, I was a pro!
I was 28 when my first child was born. There are times I wish we had waited a little longer and had a little more 'us' time before having kids, but it has worked out well for us. We're planning to retire shortly after the kids are out of college. Some of the kids' classmates' parents are a little older, but I'd say that the majority are within 5 years of my age, which I don't see as a significant difference at this phase in my life.
I had my first son at 28 years old and now 30 pregnant with my second son due in August. I am glad I waited to have children in my late twenties and early thirties. Sometime I wish I did have my first at 25 years old, but I don't think I was financial ready or ready to give up my night life yet.
Husband and I had first child at 23. Really wish I had waited until more financially secure. And I missed out on so much freedom during my twenties. Had second at 32--it was the perfect age. I was so much more patient with my second and emotionally ready. I feel very sorry for my first child who had to grow up with parents that were still growing up too. That child grew up in apartments rather than a house, with parking lots to play in rather than a yard, sirens to fall asleep to rather than crickets. My firstborn missed out on a lot. Wasn't fair--to either of us.
You'll get very few people to say their first child was a mistake. But I do think you can love your child a lot and still wish you'd had that child five or ten years later instead. And warn others that they might be better off waiting if emotional stability and financial security are important to them.
I had my first 9 years ago, the week I turned 30, and my second a month before 32. I thought I had waited, and was older at the time, but now it seems so young. It was perfect for us, as I was fortunate enough to stop working, and I was far more mature than even a few years earlier. The only time I wish I started younger is that I would love to have two more kids close in age now, but am afraid I'm too old to even have one more!
I had my first at 32 and my second at 34. I didn't think I was that old because many of my friends were doing the same thing, working for a decade out of college, then starting their families. I know I wouldn't have been ready to be a parent before then because I was a late bloomer, and not terrribly mature all through my 20s. My kids are 13 and 15 now, and I feel much better equipped to parent teenagers than I might have felt if I'd had them a few years earlier. It's easier for me to step back and be a parent, rather than a friend. The only thing I really regret is not having a third child!
I am a 47 yo man. My wife is in her mid 30s. We talk about having a child, and I lay awake at night, doing the math: child 15, me 62; child 20, me 67, etc. I'm in exceptional health and love my life and my wife. Until recently, our lifestyle didn't look like it could include a child. I've got a whole lot of life's lessons to pass along that I wouldn't have had if a child came in my 20s or 30s. Still, it breaks my heart to think that a child or I won't be able to handle the age difference. Any advice?
"Any advice?"
Stop crunching numbers, and think about the beauty of creating and raising a child.
If you don't want a baby, don't have one. But leave actuarial tables out of your decision.
Also, what does your wife say? Is this a mutual decision, or do you make all the major life's decisions in your family?
I became a parent at 19, even though I was trying to conceive since I was 17 (right after I got married). I am now almost 50 and I can honestly say I would not have changed my age for anything. Financially it was harder at 19 but my kids never did without anything they needed.
Now that I am a grandma of a 3 year old and an 18 month old I can tell your that I had way more energy as a young momma then I do now. I spend the day with both of my grandbabies because they (and my daughter) work in my baby & maternity shop with me. Most days I am tired, both from chasing them around, taking care of customers, and chasing their little ones around too, lol, but I truly enjoy being around them everyday.
My brother in law & his wife had their 1st at 40, 2nd & 3rd by 45. I don't think I would want to wait that long...look at all the years of parenting fun they missed out on.
I think being around little ones can be tiring, but on the flip-side it helps to keep you young.
I was 31 for my daughter and 33 for my son. They are now 2 and 4. I think there are benefits to being a both a young mother and an older mother. I have friends who had children in their late teens/early 20's who are fantastic mothers and the same can be said for those who waited. I think it all depends on the person. I feel I'm a much better mother now then I would have been in my 20's.

Stepwise dissolutions of the carbonaceous chondrites Orgueil (CI), Murchison (CM) and Allende (CV) reveal large nucleosynthetic anomalies for Zr isotopes that contrast with the uniform compositions found in bulk meteorites. Two complementary nucleosynthetic components are observed: one enriched and one depleted in s-process nuclides. The latter component, characterized by excess 96Zr, is most distinctive in the acetic acid leachate (up to ε 96Zr ≈ 50). The excess decreases with increasing acid strength and the final leaching steps of the experiment are depleted in 96Zr and thus enriched in s-process nuclides. Presolar silicon carbide grains are likely host phases for part of the anomalous Zr released during these later stages. However, by mass balance they cannot account for the 96Zr excesses observed in the early leaching steps and this therefore hints at the presence of at least one additional carrier phase with significant amounts of anomalous Zr. The data provide evidence that average solar system material consists of a homogenized mixture of different nucleosynthetic components, which can be partly resolved by leaching experiments of carbonaceous chondrites.

GHOST WORLD, 2001 Starring Steve Buscemi, Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, Brad Renfro, Illeana Douglas, Bob Balaban, Stacey Travis Enid and Rebecca leave their high-school graduation with dreams of living out the fantasy of getting a house together. However, while Rebecca wants to move on and grow up, Enid has no such desires and the two grow apart while Enid grows closer to self confessed nerd Seymour. CLICK HERE and watch TV SHOWS FOR FREE! REVIEW: Graphic novels dont really have the best reputation. They arent treated with the same reverence as books and are seen by most as comic extensions or superhero stories. But there are stories out there in graphic novels that are far more interesting than a lot of adapted books, and they often work better because of the cinematic style of drawings in the first place. Daniel Clowes Ghost World is an adapted graphic novel, in which he placed himself into the mindset of a teenage girl. In doing so he managed to capture the angst and confusion of not knowing what to do with your life perfectly. Enid (Birch) is a typical outsider, she doesnt fit in at school and she seems content with the fact. Resigned to being un-cool she spends her time making sarcastic quips and snide asides with her friend Rebecca (Johansson), a girl who could be much more popular if she wanted. The two of them have harboured dreams of living together since they were little girls and now, with graduation behind them, they have the chance to make dreams into reality. Like with all fantasies thought up in our youth, the long-term ramifications arent considered and Enid cant leave behind the outsider lifestyle as Rebecca quickly assimilates into the working world. Seymour is the ideal man for Enid in her masochistic search for belonging. He is a loner like her, obsessed with pop culture and repelled by everything considered fun- this includes hanging around with other people and generally going outside. They meet because of a prank that Enid and Rebecca pull, replying to a personal ad and dragging Seymour to a diner to embarrass him. When they find out more about him and his loathing for the populous at large Enid finds herself drawn to him and they spend more and more time together. A lot of the humour in this film comes from Enid paradoxically forcing Seymour to do the things she herself hates. They go to a bar together to see Seymours favourite thing live, traditional blues, only to be bombarded with the bombastic guitar of Blueshammer, the brash personification of everything they both hate. Steve Buscemi does a great job of capturing the character of Seymour, it isnt that he wants to not be involved with others, he just feels like he can relate to them. Seymour is world-weary and unlike Enids the reasons for his pessimism stem from the fact he has had the fight ground out of him by years of office work and unsuccessful dates. The relationship between the two is more a co-dependency as they try to cope with the fact that neither of them can relate to the world outside. When Enid tries to get a date for Seymour it is because as she says I cant stand to think of a world where a guy like you cant get a date, because if he cant theres the danger she cant. Norman is single minded of purpose and knows exactly what he wants, confident that his bus will eventually come and he can escape. Once all her relationships have been destroyed and she has nothing left Enid, left disheartened by everything around her, follows the same route to Norman. The great thing about Ghost World is it manages to capture the existential angst that people try to leave behind as they grow up, and exposes the fact that this fear never leaves and we are always looking for that elusive belonging which can bring us happiness. It also helps that this film is deliciously barbed and the sarcastic shots, which occur repeatedly throughout the film, are brilliant, quick and acutely observed. Enid might never actually find what she needs but thats because there is no such perfection, something the graphic novel observes brilliantly and what has transferred to the film is a great representation of the book.

awkward closets
i live in an apartment and there are 2 4' x 8' closets in my living room. What makes it even more awkward is that one of them is flushed against another wall (meaning there is no spacing or drywall between the wall and where the closet door begins).
Can anyone think of an idea to hide them? I want to be least intrusive as possible so when i move out i can easily remove it. I have curtains up now, but they don't look very good. I was thinking about a tapestry or two, but i have painted something on the other wall, so i did not want two accent type walls. Help please! |

President Barack Obama hasn't even begun his state visit to China and he has already been mocked.
"U.S. public opinion has downgraded Obama," a state-run Chinese newspaper, Global Times, editorialized about Tuesday's election. "He has done an insipid job, offering nearly nothing to his supporters. U.S. society has grown tired of his banality."

Flip through any newspaper and go from the foreign news to the business pages and what you'll see is the "other" great geopolitical struggle in the world today. It's not the traditional one between nation states on land. It's the struggle between "makers" and "breakers" on the Internet.
Already in the CVSes of this world they have begun and completed their unholy work, stripping the shelves of their cheery weight of candy corn and filling them with green and red foil boxes of seasonal truffles.
Yes, Halloween is over. But they were at it before.
It's Christmas Creep. Christmas comes but once a year, but these days, it comes prematurely and won't go away.
The Democrats' drubbing in the midterm elections simplified one of Hillary Clinton's challenges: Now she can strike some distance from President Barack Obama. Everybody else is doing it.
The former secretary of state, who is almost certain to run for president, has the luxury of time to elaborate her strategy. There will be matters beyond her control: relentless attacks, including some from the left.
Is the government's gridlock about to be dislodged? Imagine the capital as a giant set of pulleys and levers, operating at cross purposes. In the end, the forces tugging President Obama and Republican leaders apart may be more powerful than the ones pushing them together.
Now that the usual vows of good intentions are over between President Obama and the elected Republican leaders of the House and Senate -- all vowing willingness to work together to break the long legislative stalemate on Capitol Hill -- the question is will it really happen?
Before the votes were cast, Tuesday's midterm elections were looking like a "Seinfeld" election. Like the quirky TV comedy show, the midterms didn't seem to be about anything in particular.
Then the votes were counted and the "Seinfeld" midterms suddenly turned into a "wave" election.
When high-mindedness collides with reality, reality usually wins. Remember this when you hear talk of making the next two years a miracle of bipartisan comity.

Axes fly at Rumford logging festival
Event highlights town's rich logging history
UPDATED 7:13 PM EDT Jun 14, 2014Professional lumberjacks and local loggers came together for the inaugural "Chop, Drop, and Roll" festival.
Video TranscriptIN RUMFORD TODAY, AXES AND SAWS WERE FLYING IN THE INAUGURAL "CHOP DROP AND ROLL" LOGGING FESTIVAL. PROFESSIONAL LUMBERJACKS AND LOCAL LOGGERS COMPETED IN EVENTS LIKE THE AXE THROW, SPRING BOARD, AND THE JACK AND JILL CROSS CUT, WHICH FEATURES A MAN AND WOMAN TEAM SLICING THROUGH A LOG. ORGANIZERS WANTED A WAY TO HIGHLIGHT RUMFORD'S RICH LOGGING HISTORY, WHILE RAISING MONEY FOR BOTH THE GREATER RUMFORD COMMUNITY CENTER, AND BLACK MOUNTAIN SKI RESORT... "We didn't get our funding last year,so we have been doing a lot of fundraising, and one of our organizers from the GRCC came up with this idea, to have this professional logging festival. At first it was like 'eh I am not sure we can do that,' but it's here! We want to raise money for both organizations, and it's a great thing for the community." THE DAY WAS STARTED WITH A COMMUNITY BREAKFAST AND ALSO HAD OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING A 5-K, LIVE MUSIC, AND CHILDREN'S

Laybourn-Parry, J. E. M. and Rogerson, A. and Crawford, D. W. (1992) Temporal patterns of protozooplankton abundance in the Clyde and Loch Striven. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 35 (5). pp. 533-543. ISSN 1096-0015
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The ciliate and flagellate protozooplankton of the Clyde Estuary and Loch Striven were investigated over a 12 month period in 1990. There were distinct differences in the patterns of occurrence and numbers of the Protozoa in the two brackish locations, attributable to different physical and chemical conditions. Phototrophic flagellate numbers were higher in Loch Striven, where overall chlorophyll a concentrations were also higher. In contrast heterotrophic flagellate densities were higher in the Clyde and were abundant throughout the year, while in Loch Striven they showed a distinct seasonal pattern with peak numbers occurring in the summer. Heterotrophic dinoflagellates were periodically very abundant, particularly in Loch Striven and the lower Clyde. The ciliate communities showed marked differences in species composition and higher numbers occurred in the Clyde compared to Loch Striven. Tintinnid ciliates formed a regular component of the community in Loch Striven, but were less common in the Clyde. However, aloricate ciliates, particularly oligotrichs and very small bactivorous ciliates (< 20 μm) dominated the ciliate assemblage. Apart from Laboea very few of the oligotrichs contained plastids, and were therefore not practising mixotrophy. In both systems the microbial plankton is largely dependent on allochthonous carbon. High turbidity, particularly in the Clyde resulted in low concentrations of chlorophyll a and a low incidence of mixotrophy among ciliates.

Young Polish girl cheated death through her wits and her Jewish faith, though it was tested
Paula Kelman | Born in 1927, Czestochowa, Poland
In one moment Paula Kelman was a 12-year-old girl, her hair hanging wildly down her back as she skated the frozen surface of a pond near her home.
And in the next, her sister had hastily cut her hair to her chin, rubbed her face with rouge and slipped her into a pair of oversized heels.
Under German occupation in 1939, selections were held each day in the Jewish ghetto of Czestochowa, Poland. Jews would line up in the streets and those deemed too young or too old for work were executed.
"When the Germans came, they took our childhood away," said Kelman, who, after living in Memphis for more than 50 years, still speaks with a heavy accent.
An affectionate woman with dark hair and sparkling eyes, the former stay-at-home mom told the story of her survival in her daughter's East Memphis home, around the corner from her own.
Nearly 70 years ago, when her parents and two brothers were carted off to the gas chambers, her 22-year-old pregnant sister, Sabina, tried to save them from the same fate.
First by getting the baby-faced Paula through the Nazi selections.
"They asked me, 'How old are you?' and I said 18."
It was the first of many narrow escapes for Kelman.
Strong enough for labor, she was ordered to empty the cramped ghetto homes of Jews who had been taken away, collecting anything of value to bring back to the Nazis.
Although she was scared, hunger and cold drove her to take risks.
"I would hide sheets in my clothing to sell for bread."
But on one occasion, before she could trade her wares on the black market, she and a friend were caught by a policeman operating under Nazi orders.
The girls were forced to dig their own graves at gunpoint and then taken into an alley to be shot.
"I was thinking that was the end of it," she said.
Then the policeman raised his gun above his head and fired two shots in the air.
He turned out to be a friend of Sabina's and told the girls to cover the graves and hide.
She was saved again, yet it was hard to be thankful while surrounded by so much destruction.
"I was born Jewish. I want to die Jewish," she said, but faith was a hard thing to keep.
After the birth of Sabina's baby, Kelman recalls the newborn being snatched from its mother's arms by a Nazi soldier and smashed to its death against a brick wall.
Her sister was never the same after that, she said. "She was a nervous wreck, even back in America."
In the Czestochowa slave labor camp, the sisters stood for hours working in an ammunition factory. When a prisoner made a mistake they were mercilessly beaten.
"In the shower, our bodies looked like black road maps," she said.
Kelman was 16 when Russian soldiers liberated her camp.
"They said, 'You are free.' We just didn't know what was freedom. We were scared to leave."
She met her husband, an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor, in a displaced persons camp in Germany. They sailed together to America, where they hoped never to be persecuted again.
In Memphis, her husband spoke freely to their two children about his past. But Kelman would not raise those memories.
Then 10 years ago, she received a call from the Memphis office of Facing History and Ourselves, an international program that teaches students moral lessons by studying the past.
The organizers were running a series on Anne Frank, a teenage victim of the Holocaust famous for her detailed diary entries.
Kelman was about the same age as Frank during the war, and they wanted to put a human face to the girl's stories.
She agreed to speak at the exhibition, regretting it the moment she hung up.
But when she faced the crowd, she found it unexpectedly healing.
"When I was holding it inside, it was much worse," she said.
Now Kelman is one of the group's listed lecturers and travels to other cities to speak.
Her sister and husband have since died, and Kelman has started over, carving a new life with friends and spending hours volunteering at the Jewish Community Center.
"I'm still alive," she said, "I'm a Holocaust survivor."

Nonlinear plasmonic slot waveguides
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 26, pp. 21209-21214 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (117 KB)
We study nonlinear modes in a subwavelength slot waveguide created by a nonlinear dielectric slab sandwiched between two metals. We present the dispersion diagrams of the families of nonlinear guided modes and reveal that the symmetric mode undergoes the symmetry-breaking bifurcation and becomes primarily localized near one of the interfaces. We also find that the antisymmetric mode may split into two brunches giving birth to two families of nonlinear antisymmetric modes.

Polygamy is usually portrayed as an old-fashioned form of life that brings economic disadvantage, discriminates women and is incompatible with a democratic society. In a recent scientific study, the economics professors David de la Croix and Fabio Mariani of the Université Catholique de Louvain present the thesis, that polygamy, in the form of polygyny, is compatible with democracy and could be economically viable for women.
In their study "From Polygyny to Serial Monogamy: A Unified Theory of Marriage Institutions", Professor de la Croix and Professor Mariani deem the existing research results and theories on the question, which form of family-life was original to humans, as inconclusive.
This result is important for today's political debate about Polygamous lifestyles, as opponents of Polyamory and Polygamy, especially representatives of Christian churches usually claim, it was clear that humans were monogamous by nature. The exactly opposite position is taken, for example, by Chris Ryan and Cacilda Jethá in "Sex at Dawn". Based on extensive research they claim that the original way of life of humans was openly practiced promiscuity, which held many benefits for the individuals and the group they belonged to.
In spite of uncertainties about the original form of family life, de la Croix and Mariani say genetic studies have proven that in the course of history promiscuous sexual behavior in a polygynous form (= one man, multiple women) became the usual way of life and eventually became institutionalized as polygynous marriage. Polygyny was for a long time the predominant way of life and is still prevalent in surviving traditional societies.
In Western societies, by a multitude of factors, lifelong monogamous marriage became the dominant form of marriage and was enforced especially by the influence of the Christian church during the Middle Ages. This dominance was later broken by alterations in the laws on marriage and divorce. Today in Western societies serial monogamy is the norm.
The aim of the study was to unify current economic theories of why humans changed from polygamous life to monogamy. In the course of their studies de la Croix and Mariani also concluded that polygamous lifestyles in the form of polygyny can evolve in modern societies due to the economic interests of individuals, especially poorer women, and are compatible with democray. 1
Not being an economic scientist myself, i can not judge on the consistency of the economic models and formulas presented in the study. Professor de la Croix wrote to me in an email, this part of the study was certainly of interest only to scientists in theoretical economics.
Nevertheless, this is the first study I know of that proves with scientific economic theory that in modern, democratic societies polygamy can be a sensible way of life that is in the interest of people, especially the interests of women.
I would only like to add, since the study primarily focuses on polygynous relationships (= a man with several wives), it does not take into account that in today's poly-movement women increasingly have several husbands. Also the possibility of homosexual or bisexual poly-relationships is not taken into account, about which I have written in this article. I think any kind of multiple relationship among adults, into which all parties enter voluntarily and with the knowledge and consent of all participants is compatible with liberal-democratic societies: Theses on polygamy and monogamy.

It's hard for me, being female to understand how the women would ever get enough sex. We evolved in many to many, not 1man to several women. Men generally don't have sex long enough for 1 woman let alone more than 1.
I think monogamy is probably part of the reason women in our society have so many problems with enjoying sex. Sex at Dawn makes sense. That we evolved to be monogamous does not add up when you really look at how men and women enjoy sex.-
Thanks for your comment, Lesley.
As i wrote in the article: all kinds of polygamous relationships should be possible, and definitely everybody should get enough sex 😉
Polygamy (one man, several women) comes down to us from thousands of years ago when women had no rights whatsoever and were regarded as property to be traded among men. Recently, laws against polygamy were challenged in Canada, and after listening to 13 groups for 4 month, both pro and con polygamy, Chief Justice Robert Bauman of British Columbia Supreme Court, brought down his decision on November 23 2011. In a 400 page Brief he ruled that polygamy harms ALL society in that, since nature has arranged that there are not even two women for every one man, the practice pitches younger, poorer men against rich men who can afford to collect several women as concubines for their harems. As well, he ruled that polygamy contravenes the equality rights of women, who in these modern times have equality with the male. He also ruled that polygamy impoverishes women and children, since the women and their children are rivals for the lone male's love and attention. Polygamy should be kicked into the garbage can of history where it should have been kicked years ago. The year is 2012 AD, not 2012 BC, and women (with the exception of certain backward Third World nations) now have equality with men, and demand their equal rights.
Dear Jancis,
Thank you for taking the time to comment and elaborate the ruling in the Canadian polygamy case according to the way you understood it. Please allow me to add the following:
1) Polygamy is not – as you claim in your comment – one man with several women. It is the general term for any kind of relation involving multiple people.
2) The case in Canada was about polygyny (one man, several women), and in my opinion the problem – apart from the legal situation – was not really the polygyny but the coercion. These people were not making free decisions about their marriages but were following rules of their religion. Now of course there is the case of religious freedom, but if i got it right they were follwoing the orders of their religious leader when it came to marriage. As much as i respect religious freedom i am of the opinion that people should make decisions about marriage freely and not be told by others whom to marry.
3) The study about which i was reporting here and my whole website is about freely chosen polygamy. Nobody´s rights are harmed when polygamy is lived this way.
4) If you take some time to delve into the history and current societies a bit more, there have always been and still are lots of societies where a woman could have several men. So where is the harm here of women´s rights?
5) Also, the study i´m reporting on here actually shows that even the kind of polygamy you are referring to, i.e. polygyny, can under certain circumstances be beneficial for women in a modern, democratic society based on equal rights.
6) By the way you talk about what you call "backward nations" you are showing a lack of respect bordering on discrimination of other nations, other people and their ways of life. Are you really in a position to be the judge of the ways of life of all nations and people?
7) If you do even more research, you will find that polygamy can include all kinds of relationships. You might want to start with this article: http://viktor-leberecht.com/polygamy/forms-of-polygamy/schematic-representation-of-polygamous-polyamorous-relations/.
8) Further recommendation for reading is the book "Sex at Dawn". You might learn something about how humans evolved and other people´s ways of life and widen your horizon on the many possible ways to live love, sexuality and marriage a bit.
Kind regards, Viktor.
[…] In the comment I also referred to the study of May 2012 by the economics professors David de la Croix and Fabio Mariani of the Université catholique de Louvain, according to which polygamy is compatible with democracy and can be economically viable for women.

Obama outlined a manifesto for responding to "Arab Spring" uprisings as he became the first U.S. president to address both houses of the British parliament in Westminster Hall, whose walls are steeped in 1,000 years of British history.
"Ultimately, freedom must be won by the people themselves, not imposed from without. But we can and must stand with those who so struggle," he said.
His speech was aimed at reassuring Europe, where there is some sense that the United States is turning its attention elsewhere in the face of fierce diplomatic challenges from Asia and the Arab world.
In a speech anchoring his four-nation European trip, Obama said it was up to the United States, Britain and their European allies to lead at a time when the world was being tested by economic turmoil, Arab revolutions, Islamic militants, climate change and efforts to spread nuclear weapons.
It is a message he will carry on Thursday to Deauville, France, where leaders of the Group of Eight powers meet.
The audience at Westminster Hall, which has been used for coronation banquets and the lying-in-state of deceased monarchs, included former prime ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and John Major and even American actor Tom Hanks.
All applauded when Obama, who had played up his Irish roots in Ireland earlier in the week, said it was an honour "for the grandson of a Kenyan who served as a cook in the British Army to stand before you as president of the United States".
Obama rejected those who say the time of American and European influence around the world has passed as the likes of China, Brazil and India claim a bigger place on the world stage.
"That argument is wrong," he said. "The time for our leadership is now ... Our alliance will remain indispensible to the goal of a century that is more peaceful, more prosperous and more just."
Robin Niblett, director of the foreign policy think tank Chatham House, told Reuters that the priorities Obama had listed "are going to require a broader set of partners than were in this chamber".
At home, critics have accused Obama of responding too slowly to developments in the Arab world and contributing to a stalemate in Libya, where leader Muammar Gaddafi is showing no sign of yielding to a rebellion.
With some wondering why he has not applied similar pressure to President Bashar al-Assad to stop a bloody crackdown in Syria, Obama said: "We cannot stop every injustice."
Obama, who is under pressure at home not to engage in another foreign military entanglement, cautioned that it would take time for the uprisings in a string of nations from Egypt to Syria to play themselves out.
"It will be years before these revolutions reach their conclusion, and there will be difficult days along the way. Power rarely gives up without a fight," he said.
Eager to begin removing some U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July, Obama said the United States was now preparing to turn a corner there and that, during the transition period, "we will pursue a lasting peace with those who break from al Qaeda and respect the Afghan constitution".
Earlier, at a joint news conference, Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron predicted that Gaddafi would ultimately leave power. Cameron did not deny French reports that Britain is considering using attack helicopters alongside France against Libyan targets to increase the heat on Gaddafi.
"We will be looking at all the options for turning up that pressure," he said when asked about the helicopters. (Additional reporting by Adrian Croft and Keith Weir)

1999 Chevrolet Cavalier
I ran into a problem of an overheating motor a few days ago. I checked under the hood and notced the fan was not running, I checked the fuse which was good and I switched the relays from the air conditioning and the cooling fan which had no effect (they were the same type of relay) I drove the car home and noticed that at anything over say about 30 MPH the cooling system functions properly and also noticed that when not moving the AC compressor kicks off and the car runs really sluggishly, but when it gets back up to speed the temp returns back to where it should be and everything else functions properly as well, it is a 99 cavilier with a 2.2 L and a 5 speed manual, has about 120K miles. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated, thanks a ton!

Try testing the coolant temperature sensor and fan motor and wiring -also could be that the computer is not compensating for the load from the AC to demand the IACV to raise the idle or the IACV itself. Other sensors such as IAT/VSS/AC control switch/AC pressure sensors that the computer uses to energizes the relays.

It seems that the fan was bad and that is what was causing all of this mess, thanks a ton! You hit it rigt on the head and as a side note, I also know from browsing the other questions that I need to pick up a blower motor resistor to fix a problem I have had since I bought the car! You guys are the best! Thanks again!

German goalkeeper Frank Rost has signed with MLS club New York Red Bulls.
The 38-year old has joined the Red Bulls as a free agent after his contract with Hamburg expired at the end of last season and could be available this weekend if his visa comes through in time.
Rost spent 18 years in the German Bundesliga, amassing over 420 appearances with Werder Bremen, Schalke and Hamburg but will now ply his trade in North America's MLS, providing competition for Greg Sutton and Bouna Coundoul at Red Bull Arena.
NYRB sporting director Erik Soler was delighted to welcome four-time capped Germany international to the club.
"We are delighted that Frank has decided to support us in the middle of our campaign," he said.

Motorcyclist killed trying to enter closed I-595 express lanes
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the death of a motorcyclist who crashed when he tried to enter the closed express lanes on Interstate 595 in Broward County as he exited from Florida's Turnpike.
Jahanan Palumbo, 41, of Miami was headed north on the turnpike, then exited to I-595 shortly before 3 p.m. Sunday. He apparently tried to enter the express lanes, which had red lights and the "Do Not Enter" gates in the down position.
According to FHP, Palumbo's Kawasaki motorcycle hit two of the gates, careened across the northbound turnpike lanes and struck a portable arrow sign on the opposite side of the road.
Palumbo's body hit the guardrail and landed on a grassy shoulder.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash remained still under investigation Monday.
FHP said the accident also caused about $1,500 in damage to a tractor-trailer parked on the side of the road.

Utterly inferior to the previous Teint Idole, which was my HG foundation; this formulation has nowhere near the quality of coverage (WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT!?!?!?). I can't even wear this one, as unlike the previous Teint Idole this 24Hr one gives me severe eczema that takes a week to subside! Don't even know where to start to find a replacement for the previous Teint Idole Lys Rose, am settling for Clinique Even Better in Ivory 03 which is about 75% as good coverage wise.

This is another great foundation by Lancôme and I'm so impressed by the performance of it! I have a neutral undertone with a slight bit of pink and I never thought I could find a perfect foundation match until I came across this one; it really is easy to find your match because there is a wide variety of shades. I could really see this working on a variety of skin types, the key is to properly moisturize first. It covers very well and the lasting power is great so I would highly recommend!

I've been using Lancôme for about 7-8 years now and this is one of their best products. The most essential product in my make up bag is this foundation it medium to full coverage and doesn't feel to heavy and when the name says 24 hours that is no joke it really does last the entire day and then some! I love this foundation and I can't imagine switching or trying a new foundation out its that GOOD!

I guess I'm the minority here. This foundation was a disappointment for me. I had high hopes for this because of all the good reviews on MUA & Youtube, but I actually kinda hated it. First & foremost, this foundation did not last long on my face like it claims & it oxidized on my oily skin. It did not keep me matte & the bottled started to separate in about 7 mos time. I could have gotten a bad bottle but that shouldn't happen at all when I pay this much for a foundation. I liked the pump bottle packaging, but not too fond of the frosted glass bottle. Coverage is decent, but it's not a real full coverage on first layer. However, it is buildable & very easy to spread on your face. If you are considering this foundation, I say get a sample first & try out before forking over big bucks. I did end up using about 70% of the product before it started to separate & more I used it, more I disliked it. I will not repurchase, nor would I recommend it to anyone. This product was a fail for me & I feel that even some drugstore foundations are superior quality to this product.

After many years of looking for a foundation that would perfectly match my skin tone (I have light/medium Vietnamese warm skin, and you'd be surprised how many foundations i've tried that have NOT matched my skin colour) all the while providing medium-high coverage, I've finally found it.
My friend first recommended this to me a couple months ago and I will never look back.
When you apply this, you only need one pump to cover the entire face (pump is a plus since i hate foundations that you have to pour out manually); I've tried using my fingers, a brush and a sponge to apply this foundation and I've never needed more than the 1 pump. This will give you a silky, matte, airbrushed, medium coverage finish, which I find perfect for everyday use. If you need more coverage, I would go with 2 pumps. You don't have to set this foundation with powder because it's already so matte, but I usually do, just because I layer pounds of concealer on top lol
1 bottle usually lasts me about 2 months (maybe a little more), so that's around $25/month that you're paying for this product. It is pretty steep, but imo, completely worth it as I have yet to find another foundation that can compare to this one.

An overpriced high-end version of revlon color stay (minus the staying power). I'm pretty disappointed with this foundation. Not worth the $$. It's very drying. Doesn't last very long (for a foundation that claims to last 24 hours, this starts to fade patchy about 6 -7 hours in). Won't repurchase.
-perfect shade of ivory
-love the pump bottle
-lack of staying power
-Reminds me exactly of colorstay (coverage wise and texture, which is a 1/4 of this price).

This is the absolute best foundation out there!!! I have tried Estee Lauder (it's ok), MAC (horrible the worst!), Clinique (some are ok, others uggh!), Neutrogena (decent), Maybelline (no), L'oreal (one is ok others yuck!), Sephora, Bare Minerals, Cargo, etc etc etc. NONE give me the FULL coverage (I have a lot of redness) w/out looking cakey or greasy like many I have tried.Face looks airbrushed and flawless! Yes, it's expensive ($48) but it last me ALL year and I wear makeup everyday. One pump is all you need IF you apply with a stippling brush (E.L.F. $3). If you use your fingers or any other applicator you will use a lot more and it just wont look the same. My olive skin is neither warm nor cool but this is a perfect match for me. Ladies you gotta try this! Ask for a sample, buy yourself a stippling brush and you will agree!!!

So it wasn't love at first sight it took Teint Idole and I about 3 weeks to reach a truce! I found this foundation a bit tricky to work out and was expecting it to be somewhat like ELDW of which it certainly isn't.
I'm NC15 and bought this in the lightest shade: 005 (arm swatch above) and so glad I did as it oxidises and ends up darker as the day goes on. My skin is Normal/Combo and I find I still get shiny in the T-zone with this foundation.
The packaging is great and the pump doesn't dispense ridiculous amounts of product which is good as you really don't need much for coverage. After experimenting the best application method for me was a damp BB. I do use a light powder over the top to set.
My problem with this foundation is it just looked "flat" - until I worked out where I was going wrong, this needs a light-diffusing or illuminating primer underneath to get a healthy skin look going. So I'm happy with it now but it does not have the wow factor for me - I prefer ELDWL over this one so won't be repurchasing.

I used this foundation for many years when I had normal skin. I liked it a lot, but after I went through acne treatment my skin became very dry. This foundation looked terrible on dry skin. I contribute this foundation to the decline in my skin prior to acne treatment.
The third ingredient is ALCOHOL. Alcohol should never been applied to the skin. It breaks down the skin's barrier—destroying the very substances that keep your skin healthy over the long term. Majority of acne suffers have an impaired skin barrier (acid mantle). The reason alcohol is added to this foundation is because it evaporates quickly (causing the matte finish). It seems reasonable to think that the damage will not be so severe, considering the alcohol evaporates so quickly. Wrong. Unfortunately, research reveals that this logic is only wishful thinking. Alcohol immediately harms the skin and starts a chain reaction of damage that continues long after it has evaporated.
AVOID this foundation and please check ingredients on all the products you use. Alcohol denat, is harmful to the skin.
